Horrido:
The covering on the Gee Bee and the Tiger Moth are exactly the same. UltraCote. Perhaps the difference is in the fact that the Tiger Moth on display had not been flown, but the Gee Bee that was there is the first prototype. It's been flown, dinged, flown some more, dinged some more and then hastily cleaned up for the show.
The Gee Bee the customer gets will look as shiney as the Tiger Moth.
